Northern Cyprus? Isn't that fascist area, owned my Turkey?

Probably rather controversial to include, there is big drama whenever things to do with northern cyprus come up.

I remember what happened when they tried to put tourist adverts on the tube last year...

Fascist??? In this age of unlimited availability of information, such a claim is ridicoluous.
Northern Cyprus is an independent country, under the protection of Turkey. It has been founded in 1974, following the civil war between the Greeks and the Turks in Cyprus. It is a democratic country and ironically they have a higher GDP per capita than Turkey.
Their league is virtually unknown but they have recently been awarded as "the best unrecognised nation".
Although no other country than Turkey officially recongise Northern Cyprus as a state, thousands of English (and others) tourists fly there for summer holidays every year.

Ok, this crash course on history should not be here, but neither an entry containing false and accusing claims to begin with.

A country is not a country unless universally recognised. Otherwhys i could say my garden is a country...

These are both fairly biased views wrt the Cypriot issue- probably not the correct place for them to be aired as well.

Wrt FM, i'd doubt the Northern Cypriot league would be included, given the (I assume) stronger Cypriot league isn't in the game nor is stack of other strong leagues around the world (Saudi, Egyptian, various South American and African leagues, etc). However if any modders are keen they're more than welcome to.

Independent counrty? Is it recognised? I thought it was an occupied area, taking under consideration the fact that ther are several thousands of Turkish soldiers there.
